Privacy is a thing of the past.  With the passage of the "Patriot Act"
by those free thinkers of the dictatorship they have programs that
 follow every keystroke we make.

Don't be fooled by the providers of internet sites.  They operate in
conjunction with the guberment and I meant the spelling, GUBERMENT.
It's run by a bunch of GUBERS who don't give a damn about your
privacy or rights.  They've used the constitution as a floormat in front
of a urinal.

I have NO RESPECT for them.  You shouldn't either.  Be wise do not
trust them by being careless on the internet or your personal
computer when off line either.  They can enter your computer remotely
and even your homes now under the "Patriot Act".  It's nothing but
a 3rd rate dictatorship with technology tools to be more invasive against
your rights and privacy. 

EVIL is the word of this ERA.

Hi katman,

Like I hear Alex Jones, well everything is snooped on the Internet, it is tagged, data are taken via Flash and ActiveX, broken Javascript is used. Anonymous browsing has become a farce, and not only because of governments, but also because of their Overlords. So one should always assume that if one does something on the "public" Internet it is as been uttered "in public", and one can be hold responsible for these utterings.
At least that is my point of view, and one runs risks: http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2009/01/11/is_this_lawman_your_facebook_friend/?s_campaign=8315
If you use a computer with Web 2.0 functionality you should always have this at the back of your head - virtual reality equals normal reality.
One can minimize the collateral damage a bit with using Tor and privoxy and using a txt only browser and block all sorts of cookies, Super cookies, (geoloc) ID tags, Web Bugs, and other possibilities to profile you.
But largely your click stream is out of your hands, and Google, Profilers, ISP, RIIA, and all sort of institutions and firms, etc. are using our data, selling our data, etc. It is not an evil force that has decided to do this, it is by our own accord, we all choose to do this,
